The service is available free of charge to all Federal agencies and their suppliers. Please refer to the terms of your contract for invoicing instructions specific to your award. Enrollment actions to take after you have an applicable award: If you are already enrolled in IPP through another award or agency: If your company is already registered to use IPP, you will not be required to re-register and you do not need to contact IPP. If you are NOT already enrolled in IPP: The point of contact you provided in your SAM.gov registration will receive two emails from ipp.noreply@mail.eroc.twai.gov. Please note that emails from this email address may filter into your spam or junk folder: 1. The first email will have the IPP Logon ID and a link to the IPP application. 2. A second email, which will be sent within 24 hours of the first email, contains a temporary password. Once your contact receives these emails, please ensure they log into IPP and complete the registration process. If you are not enrolled in IPP, you must contact the FINCEN Vendor Support Team at FIN-SMB-FSMSVendorSupport@uscg.mil. You will not be able to "sign up" for IPP. You must have a current award and be enrolled by working through your FINCEN points of contact.
